25. Kung Food

Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family living room. Marinette uses a French-to-Chinese translation app.

Marinette: You'll see Tikki. I'll say it just fine. (presses the microphone button on the app) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette.

Translator App: 欢迎来到我的家，我的名字叫马里内特。

Marinette: (repeats after the translator app, pronounces the sentence wrong) No, that's not right. (repeats the translated statement and gets it correct)

Tikki: Good job Marinette!

Marinette: I'm so nervous! Do you think he'll like them? (Marinette grabs the flowers off the coffee table.)

"Who wouldn't? Those flowers are beautiful!" Rose said sweetly and everyone nodded in agreement.

Tikki: Well of course! They're fine!

Marinette: They can't be fine, they have to be perfect! My mom's uncle is a super famous Chinese chef. He's very particular, so things have to be just right. (Doorbell rings.) That's him! Hide, Tikki. (Tikki hides. While going to the door, Marinette trips over the backing of her couch before opening it.)

Wang Cheng: 你好 (Hello).

"Is that Wang Cheng Shifu?! He's your great-uncle?!" Kagami asked in excited shock which surprised everyone since she's usually so composed.

"Yep. You've heard of him, Kagami?" Marinette asked curiously.

"Your great-uncle is one of the finest culinary artists in the entire continent of Asia. My mother actually smiled when she tasted his famous Celestial Soup and if you all know my mother, that's a very rare occasion," Kagami said and everybody who knew her mother nodded in agreement.

"Wow! I knew he was famous in China. I didn't know he was that big," Marinette admitted honestly.

"My entire family are chefs, but Uncle Wang is the best one out of all of us and the only one who wanted to make his mark on the world," Sabine proudly explained and the audience gave impressive sounds except for Lila who just scowled.

Maribrat has another celebrity connection?! That girl cannot be that lucky! Lila ranted in her head in jealousy.

"Oh, and Kagami, just so you know, his soup is no longer called Celestial Soup," Adrien pointed out, smiling over to his girlfriend who blushed.

"What's it called now?" Kagami asked curiously and the people who don't know is also curious as well.

"You'll see at the end of this episode," Angel said and the audience turned their attention back to the screen.

Marinette: Uh, welcome Mari you're at Nette's. Uh ah, welcome to Marinette's! You're Chinese! No no no no! In Mandarin! (Marinette attempts to greet her great-uncle in Chinese.) Ugh, no wait. (Marinette reaches for phone and hands Wang Cheng the flowers, who smells them. She whispers to the translator app on her phone) Welcome to my home. My name is Marinette. Ugh, this is so lame.

Translator App:欢迎来到我家。我的名字叫马里内特。哎，这个真差劲。哎，这个真差劲。哎，这个-... (app malfunctions and keeps repeating "Ugh, this is so lame!" until she closes the app and let her great uncle inside.)

"Honey, I appreciate the effort you're going through, but you didn't need to drive yourself crazy to impress Uncle Wang," Sabine said, laughing at her daughter going crazy with the translator app along with everybody else.

"Maybe I'd be so much calmer if I wasn't given short notice about him coming," Marinette retorted back to her mother, who still laughed.

Marinette: (On the phone with Alya, whom she just dialed) Alya, you've gotta help me. I don't know what to do with my mom's uncle. You know, the one I told you about? Well, I don't think I can pull this off... (Cut to Alya, sitting on a park bench)

Alya: Chill out Marinette, I got the solution. Just hang tight. (She hangs up.)

Marinette: (To the dial tone) Thank you! You're amazing. What solution? Huh? Aw...

"Alya, would you please tell me your plans beforehand from now on?" Marinette asked her best friend in a pleading manner.

"Where's the fun surprise in that, girl?!" Alya said, giggling along with some others while Marinette playfully pouted.

Scene: The Dupain-Cheng family sofa. Marinette sits uncomfortably with Wang Cheng, awaiting Alya's help, when the doorbell rings, and Marinette runs to answer it.

Adrien: Hey Marinette!

Marinette: ADRIEN!? What in the—uh—what are you—

Adrien: Alya called me. She said you needed someone who speaks Chinese? Well, here I am! Translator at your service. (he bows to her)

"Did your father give you permission to do this, son?" Tom asked Adrien curiously.

"Yes. I told him that a friend needed a Chinese translator and he surely wouldn't want to think that my Chinese lessons have been a waste of time and money," Adrien explained and everyone nodded in understanding.

Marinette: No! I mean, yes! Uh, where's Alya? (She receives a text from Alya confirming the situation.) Uh, hehe!

Scene: In the car on the way to the contest.

Adrien:郑师傅，这是你第一次来巴黎吗？(translates. Master Cheng, Is this the first time you've visited Paris?)

Wang Cheng:不，我三十年曾经来过这里;你说一口流利的中国话。 (translates. No, I have been here 30 years ago. You can speak Chinese fluently.)

Adrien:谢谢，郑师傅。(bows. It translates. Thank you, Master Cheng)

"Uh, care to translate, dude?" Nino asked as he and everybody else (except for Sabine) didn't understand a word of that Chinese conversation.

"Adrien asked if that was my uncle's first time visiting Paris. My uncle said that he was in Paris thirty years ago and that Adrien speaks Chinese very well, and I agree. Great job, Adrien!" Sabine answered for Adrien and smiled at him while everyone is impressed.

"Yeah, I guess my Chinese lessons have paid off," Adrien said, blushing at his girlfriend's mother's praise.

"No doubt. My entire family would love you!" Sabine said with an excited smile.

"Mom!" Marinette said, blushing in embarrassment at the implication of what she just said while everybody else chuckled.

Wang Cheng: Oh, my English very bad. Not like your Chinese.

"Wait, he can speak English?" Some people in the audience asked simultaneously in surprise.

"Not very well, but some words and sentences here and there. I swear I didn't know that!" Marinette said, defending herself.

"Neither did I when I first met him," Tom said, laughing at the memory.

Adrien: I thought you couldn't speak English.

Marinette: Uh, me too.

Wang Cheng: Oh, no, not good. My English not good. (Marinette giggles.)

Scene: Outside the Le Grand Paris. "The World's Greatest Chef"'s logo flashes.

Alec: Since our "World's Greatest Chef" contest kicked off, the best culinary masters from around the globe have been blowing our minds with their gastronomic creations.

Mr. Bourgeois: Cheng Shifu, I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far. (Wang Cheng smiles, and he, Marinette, and Adrien walk into Le Grand Paris.)

"Wow! Your great-uncle must be really famous if Chloe's dad knows about him and is already impressed with him," Mylene noted and everyone nodded in agreement.

Alec: Only one will be awarded the title of "World's Greatest Chef." The winner's dish will become the new Mayor's Special on the Grand Paris's menu! (Camera switches to inside the hotel) Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honoring our panel with today?

Adrien:（Translating what Alec said) 你将交给上的菜 (The dish you will be offering)

Wang Cheng: My dish is: Celestial soup.

Alec: Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it! (Television broadcast ends)

Adrien: Would you like me to come with you, Cheng Shifu?

Wang Cheng: No thank you Adrien. Cooking needs no words. (Alec leads him off)

"I should've came with him. If so, nothing bad would've happened," Adrien said guiltily.

"Don't blame yourself, Adrikins. It was my utterly ridiculous doing!" Chloe said, looking down in shame while everybody else looked at her.

"What did you do?" Alix asked with a frown.

"I'm sure you'll see," Chloe said as she pointed to the screen.

Marinette: Thanks, Adrien. I'm totally sorry for bothering you for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English.

Adrien: No problem Marinette. It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu.

Marinette: A Shifu?

Adrien: That means "Master" in Chinese. Your mom's uncle is a great master!

"That's an interesting fact," Miss Bustier commented and everybody else nodded in agreement.

Chloé: (Marinette smiles before being startled by Chloé's voice) Oh look who it is! My favorite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your great-uncle really expect to win the contest with a SOUP!? It's not even a main dish! Please! Doesn't he know how to make sushi like everyone else? (Marinette and Adrien are mad at Chloé)

"Sushi is Japanese, Chloe," Kagami, a native Japanese, calmly said with gritted teeth and her palm in her face while Chloe just blushed in embarrassment.

Adrien: Japanese people make sushi, Chloé. Cheng Shifu is Chinese! (Marinette and Adrien continue to be angry at Chloé)

Marinette: Besides, he's not like "everyone else". My great-uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary! (Marinette and Adrien are still mad at Chloé)

Chloé: Well, I despise soup.

"And they're supposed to care?" Alix asked what the audience is thinking.

Marinette: So what?

Chloé: Didn't you know? I'm on the jury. Your uncle will not be getting my vote, for sure.

"That's pretty unfair, Chloe," Mylene pointed out with a frown and everyone murmured in agreement.

Marinette: Oh yeah? Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours.

Chloé: Ugh!

Marinette: Huh, silly me, you don't have any taste! I mean, look at what you're wearing.

"Nice burn, girl!" Alya said, hi-fiving her best friend and chuckling along with everybody else.

"I know, but in retrospect, I shouldn't have done that," Marinette said sadly.

Chloé: Ew! Don't talk about me like that. (She walks to the stairs angrily) You've made a big mistake.

Adrien: (He is proud of Marinette because she stood up for her uncle) Wow, you really stood up for Cheng Shifu. He would've appreciated that.

Marinette: I'm not sure. I don't think he likes me.

"What makes you say that? That sounds crazy!" Rose asked in surprise as well as everybody else.

Adrien: Oh no, you're wrong.

Marinette: No, I swear! He even ripped up the bouquet I gave him.

Adrien: Cheng Shifu isn't just a chef, Marinette -- he's an artist! He told me he was gonna put flowers in his Celestial Soup. He said he improvises on faithful things that come his way. The flowers he mentioned must be the ones you gave him!

"How interestingly symbolic!" Kagami noted, even more impressed with the celebrity chef.

Marinette: So... you think he actually likes me?

"Girl, you are like impossible to hate!" Alya said, reassuring her best friend and everyone murmured in agreement (except for Lila of course).

"Yeah, m'lady, I doubt there is anyone who actually hates you. Not even…Chloe," Adrien said.

"I may have merely disliked her out of jealousy and annoyance, but yeah, I wouldn't say I hate her. You're more useful and helpful than I give you credit for, even without being Ladybug," Chloe explained her feelings towards Marinette and the latter gave her a thankful smile.

"They're right, Marinette. Anyone who would actually hate you would have to be jealous, insecure, stupid, pathetic, and seriously evil," Luka said and everybody else murmured loudly in agreement except for you-know-who of course.

Jealous?! Insecure?! Stupid?! Pathetic?! Evil?! How dare they! I have every right to hate her with every fiber of my being! They will pay for those comments dearly! Lila thought with hidden boiling rage.

We'll see about that, you psycho! Angel thought angrily towards Lila.

Adrien: (He put his hands on Marinette's shoulders) Totally! He's shown you great respect in his own special way. (Marinette sighs happily.)

"Just a friend, huh, dude?" Nino smirked over to his best friend while both Adrien and Marinette blushed heavily at each other.

Scene: Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks his soup.

Chloé: (Peering in from the hallway) Mr. Cheng, Marinette's looking for you outside. (Wang Cheng exits.) Let's see if the other judges enjoy your uncle's soup after this, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. (She looks a bottle) Hmm? Hmph. (Chloé then stirs her concoction up and puts the lid back on.)

"I knew it!" Marinette shouted, pointing to Chloe on-screen.

"CHLOE!" Everybody else in the audience shouted in anger and frowned towards the blonde girl.

"I know! I'm sorry!" Chloe said, raising her hands in surrender.

Wang Cheng: Marinette wasn't there—

Chloé: No speak Japanese. See ya. (exits)

"Again, Cheng Shifu is Chinese, not Japanese," Adrien said as he facepalmed at his childhood friend.

"In fact, Chloe, it is kind of racist," Kagami said to the blonde girl sternly.

"Yeah, I see it. Why was I so utterly ignorant?" Chloe asked herself, facepalming.

Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall. "The World's Greatest Chef" is being filmed.

Alec: As usual, our panel of gourmets is made up of André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris and owner of this luxury hotel, his daughter Chloé, representing the younger generation, hot rockstar Jagged Stone and his killer crocodile Fang, and finally, the divine head chef of this very hotel, Marlena Césaire, and yours truly -- Alec! ("The World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes) It's time to determine the fate of Cheng Shifu's famous Celestial Soup. Let's get tasting! (The entire jury besides Chloé who just twirls her spoon inside the soup. Alec spits out the soup) What IS this!? (Wang Cheng, Adrien, and Marinette gasp.)

"OK, that was just rude! Even if the soup was messed up!" Alya said about Alec's comment about the soup and everyone nodded in agreement.

Mr. Bourgeois: Uh, I don't think this soup would fare well with our guests! I'll give it a 3/10.

"At least Chloe's daddy knows how to be polite!" Alix commented and everybody else murmured in agreement.

Chloé: Seeing as it's pretty unappetizing, maybe I'll pass on the tasting, but I'll still give it a zero!

"You know, Chloe, your judgement shouldn't be counted if you didn't taste at least one spoonful of the soup. No matter how much you hate soup in general," Max pointed out.

Jagged Stone: Ech! It's like kissing a member from the Zombeats! Negative zero.

Marlena: I'm sorry, but it's inedible. I give it 1/10.

"You had no idea how sad this made my great-uncle feel," Marinette said sadly and everyone started giving her sorry looks.

Wang Cheng: Uh... I... (Adrien and Marinette feel sorry for Wang Cheng Shifu. He walks to Chloé's soup, tastes it, then spits it out) Uch! I don't understand, I never put these ingredients in. It's a mistake. Someone sabotaged soup! (Marlena and Jagged Stone look at each other worriedly while Chloé smiles smugly.)

Alec: I'm sorry, Cheng Shifu, but I'm giving you a zero, too, which brings your score to 0.8/10 -- the lowest so far. Celestial Soup will therefore not be in the hotel's menu this year, and you will not be named "World's Greatest Chef"! (Adrien and Marinette are still feeling sorry for Wang Cheng Shifu. The "World's Greatest Chef" logo flashes, and Marinette notices a flower petal fall from Chloé when she gets up)

Marinette: This isn't right, and I'm certain Chloé's got something to do with it.

Adrien: I'd like to say you're wrong, but I know her only too well.

Marinette: Uncle Cheng? I'm sure it's not your fault. In fact, I know it's not. I'm pretty sure Chloé's behind this. It was actually because of me. I provoked her, and—

Wang Cheng: Shame is on Celestial Soup. I shall never be "World's Greatest Chef"!

Marinette: No! Uncle Cheng!

Adrien: It's horrible to lose face in China. We'll wait for him downstairs. (Adrien walks to Marinette to comfort her and he puts his hand on her shoulder and they walked downstairs together while they are feeling down)

"It's kind of the same thing in Japan too. Losing face is considered weak and dishonorable," Kagami said, feeling sorry for the celebrity chef.

Marinette: Mhm. (Cut to Wang Cheng standing sadly over his soup pot.)

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: (His window opens) A great artist was wronged today. I can feel it. I can hear his heart screaming for revenge. (He readies an akuma.) Fly away my little akuma, and evilize him! Victory never tasted so good! Mwahahahaha!

Scene: Kitchen.

Wang Cheng: (Noticing a bottle of olive oil) Marinette was right. It was evil act by that brat! No respect for Cheng Shifu! (The akuma arrives and enters his hat.)

Hawk Moth: Kung Food, I am Hawk Moth. Those who tasted your soup will become your servants. Everyone who wronged you will pay dearly.

Wang Cheng: I will show I am greatest chef in the world! (He turns into Kung Food.)

Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall. Alec is the middle of filming a segment when the jury (besides Chloé) gets a stomach ache.

Alec: Ooohhh, uhh...

Jagged Stone: Ohh, my guts are killing me. (He bangs the table) Nrgg!

Mr. Bourgeois: (Holding his stomach) I'm feeling quite uncomfortable...

Kung Food: Bwahaha! You have eaten my soup, you become my servants! Nyehehahaha! (Everyone who ate the Celestial Soup's eyes turn orange, and they stand up.)

"Wow! Hawk Moth sure made your great-uncle look pretty freaky!" Kim said, creeped out by Kung Food's appearance.

"Yeah, he looks pretty scary!" Rose said, shuddering at the sight along with Mylene and Sabrina.

Alec: At your command, master.

Kung Food: (Pointing to Chloé) Grab the girl. (The possessed people creep towards Chloé)

Chloé: (On her phone) Yeah, well, I was wondering if you would like to come— (She notices the people crowding around her) Uh wh—w-wait! Calm down now. I'm Mayor Bourgeois' daughter, remember? Ugh! Daddy!? (Mr. Bourgeois grabs Chloé)

Kung Food: Kung Food will make new soup called Brat Soup!

Chloé: (Struggling) But I don't like soup!

"Yeah, I doubt you're gonna be eating it, Chloe!" Alix said in exasperation.

Kung Food: Eheheheh... (cut to Hawk Moth in his lair)

Hawk Moth: Haha! Perfect! It won't be long before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up to meet their doom! Mwahahaha!

Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.

Cameraman: (Running) Get out! Hurry! Get out while you still can!

Kung Food: (from a projector) Not polite to leave table without permission. Cut off all exits! (Adrien is angry and Marinette is worried at this situation. Kung Food's henchmen pour vats of caramel down the sides of the hotel.)

Adrien: (Trying to push the door open) Eh! (He bends down and sticks his finger in the liquid)

"Ewww! Did you really have to do that, Adrikins?!" Chloe asked in disgust of on-screen Adrien tasting the caramel from the floor. Everyone else also groaned a little in disgust while Adrien looked down sheepishly.

Marinette: What's that?

Adrien: Caramel? (dips finger on it and tastes it) Mmm. It might taste good but it's totally indestructible. Looks like we're trapped inside.

Marinette: My great-uncle is still upstairs!

Adrien: Don't worry, I'll find him.

Marinette: Thanks. I'll... look for a way out of here...

Kung Food: (From projector) You want to taste Kung Food's soup. Everybody become my servants, and Kung Food becomes "World's Greatest Chef"! Hahahaha!

Marinette: Uncle? (Switch to Le Grand Paris rooftop pool, where henchmen add ingredients and stir the giant soup while Chloé hangs over it.)

Scene: Le Grand Paris hallway.

Marinette: I never should have riled up Chloé! I've gotta save my uncle!

Tikki: You'll do it Marinette! I'm sure you will!

Marinette: Mhm mhm!

[Transformation Sequence]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Yeah! (Marinette transforms into Ladybug. Switch to Adrien in a staircase within Le Grand Paris)

Adrien: Time to transform!

Plagg: You didn't happen to pick up a little piece of Camembert during all this cooking chaos, did you?

Adrien: Cheese after the main meal.

[Transformation Sequence]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien transforms into Cat Noir)

Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.

Ladybug: Cat Noir?

Cat Noir: Ladybug! I don't know about you, m'lady, but I'm a bit hungry.

Ladybug: Let's go eat then. Shall we?

"You two never questioned how each other got into the building sealed by caramel?" Kagami asked curiously in amusement..

"There was no time. We had to jump into action right away!" Marinette excused both herself and Adrien, while the others lightly chuckled.

Kung Food: (Switch to Kung Food watching the duo from the pool area) Who are those two?

Hawk Moth: (From his lair) They are Ladybug and Cat Noir. They've come to stop you from completing your soup. You must add them to your recipe!

Kung Food: Surprise ingredients? Hah! Delicious! (He points to Jagged Stone) You! Go capture them!

Jagged Stone: Yes, Master Kung Food. (He runs off)

Kung Food: Brat Soup even more powerful with superhero flavor.

Chloé: I will not eat your soup!

Kung Food: Foolish girl. You are not eating soup, you ARE soup!

Chloé: Someone help! Let me down!

Kung Food: Don't worry, you will be let down soon enough. Hahahaha!

"I gotta say that this is like something out of a classic comic book or superhero TV show," Nathaniel commented on the scenario and the people who are comic fans murmured in agreement.

Scene: Le Grand Paris lobby.

Cat Noir: (Trying the elevator) Ugh! It's jammed!

Kung Food: (from a projector) Ladybug! Cat Noir! You soon have privilege to be ingredients in Kung Food's soup. But first — you taste my special of the day! (The elevator door opens)

Jagged Stone: Seafood appetizers.

Ladybug: Jagged Stone!

Cat Noir: Seafood? This scampi happening. Let's see if you can carry a tuna!

"Nice food puns, son!" Tom noted as he and Adrien hi-fived each other while Marinette facepalmed.

Ladybug: Look out! (They jump backwards after Jagged Stone swings at them)

Cat Noir: That's not very "rock and roll" of you, Jagged Stone.

Jagged Stone: Rock is one thing, soup is another. When I'm done with you, you'll be nothing but minced meat! (They fight, and Jagged Stone gets thrown into the closet.)

Cat Noir: (To Ladybug) Good job. (They fist bump.)

"Wow! You guys are like so chill!" Nino commented on the heroes' fist-bump on-screen.

"Well, we have done this a lot," Adrien answered as if it was obvious and Marinette nodded in agreement.

Ladybug: There's no time to lose! Chloé might just be the main dish! And we better not wait to find out!

"Yeah. Chloe in soup sure does not sound delicious!" Alya jokingly said and everyone laughed hard in agreement.

Jagged Stone: (From the closet) Ugh, get me outta here! Come on, then!

Scene: Le Grand Paris pool deck. Chloé hangs over it.

Kung Food: The soup is going to be Kung Food's masterpiece!

Chloé: Do you have to tie me up above this foul-smelling liquid! My designer clothes are going to stink of grease!

"Your life is on the line by boiling soup, and what you care is about how your clothes will smell?!" Alix asked Chloe in exasperation.

"They're really expensive!" Chloe said, defending herself making everyone facepalm themselves.

Kung Food: Soup not greasy at all! Kung Food soup very well-balanced. Hahahaha! (A projector then displays Jagged Stone, locked in the closet.)

Jagged Stone: Get me out of here! Come on!

Kung Food: Bad sous chef. (He sees Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the elevator, and then points to Mr. Bourgeois) You! Do me justice!

Mr. Bourgeois: Yes, Master. Phew!

Scene: The Elevator.

Cat Noir: Ladybug, come on. It's just you and me together. We could go places.

Ladybug: Uh, yeah. Like up.

Cat Noir: Exactly! We've got nowhere to go but up! (The elevator short circuits.)

Ladybug & Cat Noir: Wahhh!

Ladybug: You spoke too soon!

Cat Noir: (He tries the buttons and fails.) I think the electricity between us short-circuited the elevator.

Ladybug: You wish. More like us getting ourselves into a sticky situation. (The elevator door opens.)

Mr. Bourgeois: Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages! (He swings it around.)

Ladybug: Looks like a food fight is coming our way.

Cat Noir: I prefer my sausages with mashed potatoes. (They fight, and Mr. Bourgeois flings the heroes into a hotel suite.)

Mr. Bourgeois: Welcome to the world famous Suite 36 of this hotel.

Ladybug: If we're not careful, we'll be the mashed potatoes!

Mr. Bourgeois: You're no competition, Ladybug. (He charges them, and Cat Noir gets captured.)

Hawk Moth: (From his lair) Time to pick up the bill, Kung Food. Grab Cat Noir's Miraculous. His ring. Bring it to me! Do it now!

Ladybug: You've got the wrong superhero, Bourgeois! I bet you don't know how to do this. (She does a move with her yo-yo.)

Mr. Bourgeois: Really, Ladybug? (He copies the move, but gets his weapon caught in the chandelier. It falls and his weapon traps him.)

"Nice trick, girl!" Alya said excitedly as she hi-fived her best friend.

Cat Noir: Nice work, my lady. Shall we go and find the head chef?

Kung Food: (watching from a projector) Pea-brain! Useless! My recipe not perfect without those two! (He points to Marlena and Alec) Capture them, and don't mess up or you'll end up in soup, too!

Alec & Marlena: Yes, master. (They run off.)

Chloé: My hair is ruined! Do you know how long it took to style it this morning?

"First your clothes and now your hair? Sort your priorities, Bourgeois!" Alix once again yelled at Chloe in exasperation while the blonde girl just frowned at her.

Kung Food: It won't be a problem soon.

Chloé: Ladybug, help me!

Kung Food: Ehehehehe!

Scene: Le Grand Paris dining hall.

Ladybug: We're almost there.

Cat Noir: Great. All this fighting has made me hungry!

Kung Food: (from a projector) Kung Food is generous. No need to choose between cheese and dessert, you get to have both! (The elevator bell rings.)

Alec: Watch the spectacular demonstration of the famous thousand flying cakes! (Marlena charges the heroes.) Oh ho! Our guests seem to have a few tricks up their sleeve, but how will they fare against the blinding stinging cheese bombs! (He shoots)

Cat Noir: Ow, he's right. The cheese really does sting your eyes. (They fight, and Ladybug & Cat Noir win.)

"I thought you'd be used to it. I mean, living with Plagg and all," Ivan said to Adrien, chuckling and everyone followed suit.

Ladybug: I think it's about time we got to the second course. (they take the elevator to Kung Food.)

Scene: The Le Grand Paris rooftop pool. Chloé hangs over worriedly.

Kung Food: Ah, temperature's just right. Time to add main ingredient!

Chloé: (She begins to be reeled into the soup) Oh, no no no no noooo! Ah! (Cat Noir's staff cuts the rope, and Ladybug catches Chloé) Ladybug, what took you so long!? Just wait until I tell everyone—

Ladybug: (She drops Chloé) Oops.

"That was so savage, girl!" Alya said, laughing along with everybody else.

"Sorry, Chloe. But you did deserve it," Marinette said, giggling and Chloe reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Kung Food: Oh no! My Brat Soup will be so flavorless.

Ladybug: I know you're more honorable than this, Cheng Shifu!

Kung Food: I am not Cheng Shifu, I am Kung Food — the Greatest Chef in the World! And nobody will stop me from finishing my Brat Soup! (He pulls out a weapon.)

Ladybug: Get back Chloé! (Chloé runs off and the heroes charge Kung Food.)

Kung Food: I take care of you two myself! (They fight.)

Ladybug: Cat Noir! The akuma must be in his chef's hat! Try to grab it!

Cat Noir: (Gets hit with powder) Ow! It burns!

Kung Food: Haha! Like it spicy?

Ladybug: Lucky Charm! (A check dispenser appears.) A... check?

"A check?! What are you going to do with that?" Max asked, frustrated that the Lucky Charms are testing his intelligence.

Cat Noir: And I think it's gonna be a steep one.

Kung Food (Pulls out a Pizza Sword) You think you can beat me with a piece of paper!?

Cat Noir: You're one to talk, Kung Food. You've been trying to defeat us with sausages and cheese! Without any luck, I might add.

Kung Food: Grr! (He swings at them. Everyone fights, and Ladybug dips some of the check paper into the soup, to use a weapon. She captures Kung Food.)

Ladybug: Cat Noir, all his weapons come from his bag. Destroy it.

Cat Noir: Got it. Cataclysm! (Cat Noir destroys the bag, and Kung Food falls over. Ladybug picks up his hat, and, ripping it, lets out the akuma.)

"Nice teamwork, dudes!" Nino said as he hi-fived both Adrien and Marinette while everyone else cheered and applauded except for Lila who just stayed annoyed.

Ladybug: Your days are over little akuma! (She opens the yo-yo.) Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug! (Everything is restored.)

Hawk Moth: (From his lair) This evil dinner was almost perfect. Revenge is a dish that is best served cold, so watch yourself — I'll be ready to strike again!

Scene: Le Grand Paris kitchen. Wang Cheng cooks up the new batch of Celestial Soup and Marinette brings him flowers.

Marinette: Could you teach me how to make Celestial Soup, Cheng Shifu?

Wang Cheng: With pleasure, Marinette. (he takes the bouquet.)

Adrien: Cooking needs no words.

Chloé: (from behind Adrien and he is surprised) Seriously? Still making soup? I told you I hate soup! You think the jury is going to approve of this? (Adrien is mad at Chloé for her comment about soup)

Adrien: Didn't your father kick you off the jury? (He is irritated at Chloé)

Chloé: No he didn't! I... er... I... resigned.

Adrien: I think Cheng Shifu and Marinette have got this covered. Why don't we let the real jury decide?

Chloé: Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! (When Chloé leaves the kitchen, Adrien scratches his head while he sighs)

"Even after what you've been through, you still wouldn't learn your lesson?" Luka asked the sheepish blonde girl.

"I know! I was selfish! Not exactly news!" Chloe said, having heard enough.

Adrien: Ahahaha... (switch to "The World's Greatest Chef" on air)

Alec: Cheng Shifu's delicious Celestial Soup has received the highest marks overall, making you the final winner! (Adrien and Marinette looked at each other and they gave applause)

Mr. Bourgeois: (Tasting the soup) Ah, and it will soon be the Mayor's Special on the restaurant menu of my prestigious hotel!

Jagged Stone: Rock n' Roll! I can't wait to get home and write a song about soup! (Wang Cheng bows to the judges)

Wang Cheng: Thank you, but no longer Celestial Soup. Now called: Marinette Soup. (Adrien is happy at Marinette because her uncle renamed the Celestial Soup to Marinette Soup)

Marinette: Huh? 谢谢 (Thank you)!

"So, now Celestial Soup is Marinette Soup?" Kagami asked in surprise and both Adrien and Marinette nodded in confirmation while the latter blushed.

"Marinette, you're so lucky!" Rose gushed and everyone followed suit except for Lila of course.
